The Tax Collector and Town Clerk are one office in Lyndeborough (some larger towns have separate positions) and it is an elected position. The Tax Collector/Town Clerk is Trish Schultz and she appointed Jen Weston as her Deputy in 2025.

The Tax Collector is responsible for preparing property tax bills, recording payments, and all other duties associated with property taxes (other than assessment of properties, which is another department). In 2024 we changed software to allow us to accept online payments through credit/debit cards or ACH (a direct debit from your checking account).

The Town Clerk’s Office is responsible for maintaining the town records, including vehicle registrations, vital statistics and voter lists. Yearly dog licensing is also handled through this office. The Town Clerk also coordinates elections and election workers with the Town Moderator.

Please plan ahead and don’t wait until the very end of the month to do your registrations, as the office does close for occasional holidays or training sessions. We changed vehicle registration software in 2024 that allows us to accept credit/debit cards and allow residents to submit vehicle registration renewals online. You can also receive your registration and dog license renewal reminders through email, rather than USPS.

About Tax Rates

The property tax year runs from April 1st through March 31st of the following year. Your taxes are based on the assessed value of your home/property on April 1st of any year. In Lyndeborough, your taxes are separated into two bills. The first bill is one half of the total taxes due in the previous year, plus any physical changes that may increase the value of your home/property made in the last tax year. Our tax rate is set in October, at which time your final taxes due are established (minus a credit of your prepayment in July). The final number is sometimes set later than expected, as it can’t be set until the school provides their numbers to the town.
